                                      VISUALIZING SLOW AXONAL TRANSPORT
Visualizing and Analyzing Slow Axonal Transport: A temporally-linked composite showing the mobility of the PAGFP:synapsin (slow transport cargo) after photoactivation in an axon (greyscale, top, direction of axon left --> right); the resultant pseudocolor kymograph in the center (middle); and the intensity-center data below (essentially sequential line-scans; the quantitative center is marked with a red dot to help visualize the shift). Note the shift in the curves (displacement of the red dot) corresponds to the anterogradely-biased transport of the fluorescent plume as seen in the kymograph and the greyscale image. Gaussian curves are shown for ease of visualization, but the data are similar to that from raw intensity-values.
